She is proceeded in death by her parents Leonard and Anna Marie Peterson, and her siblings and their spouses, Phyllis Rathbun, Helen Pfaff, and Leonard (Pete) Peterson.
Nancy retired as a gift manufacturer representative from her own corporation on 5th Avenue in New York City. She was a devoted wife and servant of the Lord. She was a strong, independent woman, with a feisty, but playful, sense of humor. She loved attending church, caring for cats, solving crossword puzzles, and the camaraderie at the bridge studio. Nancy loved playing bridge and was a generous supporter of the Dottie Pirkle Bridge Studio in Athens. She always looked forward to her Monday's and Thursday's at the bridge studio. Nancy will be missed by many.
